Karjakin breaks through

Sergey Karjakin leads

The favourite Sergey Karjakin has taken the lead in Poikovsky after the penultimate round. His opponent Zahar Efimenko quickly got into a tangle in the quiet Bishop's game, and this led to Karjakin winning the exchange.
The other four games were drawn, so Fabiano Caruana and Etienne Bacrot are in equal second.
